BuffBills#1 Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 THere is an article on sporsline.com, and it's about the running backs talking about who has hit them hardest. http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/8772365 Steven Jackson, RB, St. Louis: "Lawyer Milloy. It was blitz pickup and I was a rookie last year, so he was going to test me. He came wide open and just gave me a nice one down the middle. He got me good." T.J. Duckett, RB, Atlanta: "Takeo Spikes. We played them when he was in Cincy and he just brought the wood. He gets the rest of his team behind him with every big hit. That says a lot."
Gavin in Va Beach Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Not much of a list if Winfield isn't on there. There is a TE for the Titans (think it was Wychek) that would tell you Winfield can really bring the lumber (from the opener in 2000). Probably pound-for-pound the best 'hitter' out there...
BuffBills#1 Posted August 26, 2005 Author Posted August 26, 2005 I agree, but Winfield doesn't hit you with force, he's more of a textbook tackler. I would fear Spikes or Milloy more than a little guy like Winfield.
Gavin in Va Beach Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Where the HELL is Coy Wire?????? 419572[/snapback] The writer must have taken a wrong angle and missed... ...much like Coy...
kegtapr Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Where the HELL is Coy Wire?????? 419572[/snapback] Asking for directions.
inkman Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Asking for directions. 419588[/snapback] Cuz his ass is being sent outta Buffalo?
eSJayDee Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 I would fear Spikes or Milloy more than a little guy like Winfield. F=mv^2 Velocity is more important than mass. It's slightly more complicated w/ respect to football contact. Where & how you hit someone definitely plays a big roll. The ability to generate speed in that small area and split second just b4 contact. Skill of course plays an important roll. I personally wouldn't want to have Winfield hit me & I've got probably 20 pounds on him.

Blue Chipper Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Where the HELL is Coy Wire?????? 419572[/snapback] Hopefully in the unemployment line.
scribo Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Where the HELL is Coy Wire?????? 419572[/snapback] Having dinner with Josh Reed and discussing what they're going to do now that their NFL career's are over.

eball Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Where the HELL is Coy Wire?????? 419572[/snapback] the reporter tried to interview "the air" but it was unavailable for comment.
Jon in Pasadena Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 F=mv^2 Uh, no. Unless you are perversely co-opting "F" to mean Kinetic Energy. "F" generally stands for Force which = m(dv/dt) for a moving object.
BillnutinHouston Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Coy's not on the list because running backs never get to see who piled on last...
MrLocke Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 The writer must have taken a wrong angle and missed......much like Coy... 419587[/snapback] I think you are thinking of Erron Kinney. He was a rookie in that game too.
Ramius Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Why dont we ask reggie williams (jax WR) who the hardest hitter is...
eSJayDee Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Uh, no. Unless you are perversely co-opting "F" to mean Kinetic Energy. "F" generally stands for Force which = m(dv/dt) for a moving object. Ahh, thanks for the correction. It's amazing how edifying a google search (along w/ a little guidance) can be. Apparently better than that semester of Physics I managed to sleep through many years ago.

I, unfortunately, had to sleep through many years of Physics courses before deciding not to do it for a living.
